• Stop violence against women. A resource for designing training and advocacy on ending violence against women. This web site contains a collection of methods and advice for building an advocacy strategy around ending violence against women – including the multiple tactics that go far beyond simply presenting policy briefs (eg, training, mobilization…) It’s also just a very helpful reminder of the basic steps involved in developing advocacy strategy, and in building a solid training design.
  
  They also offer some “basic modules” that will help remind you of the dynamics of violence as an exercise of power and control, and an instrument to sustain gender inequality.
